研究目的
To investigate the distribution of Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, specifically enhancing the density of NV- centers using tungsten patterns on HPHT substrates and ELO layers for applications in sensitive detection and sensing.
研究成果
Tungsten metal significantly enhances NV center density in ELO diamond layers and HPHT substrates, with NV- centers predominating beneath tungsten. This enhancement can improve the sensitivity of detectors and sensors, suggesting potential for advanced quantum and sensing applications. Future work should explore other metals or patterns for further optimization.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific conditions (e.g., tungsten pattern dimensions, CVD parameters) and may not generalize to other materials or patterns. Optimization of tungsten thickness or pattern design could improve results. The mechanism of defect enhancement is inferred but not fully proven.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) on tungsten-patterned HPHT diamond substrates via microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to enhance NV center density. Theoretical models involve defect formation mechanisms around tungsten.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ib HPHT diamond substrate with (100) orientation was used, cleaned by acid treatment. Tungsten stripes (400 nm thickness, 10 μm width) were patterned using photolithography and RF magnetron sputtering.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes microwave plasma CVD system, photolithography setup, RF magnetron sputtering system, optical microscope, SEM, XPS, Laser Raman Spectrometer (LabRAM HR Evolution), infrared thermometer. Materials include HPHT diamond substrate, tungsten, acids (HNO3/HF), gases (N2, CH4, H2).

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Steps involve substrate cleaning, tungsten patterning, CVD growth (2 hours at 16 kPa pressure, 900°C temperature with gas flows: N2 1.5 sccm, CH4 30 sccm, H2 300 sccm), cross-section cutting and polishing, acid cleaning to remove tungsten, followed by PL and Raman measurements at 81K.

Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: NV center densities were analyzed by calculating peak areas and FWHM from PL spectra using Raman spectrometer software; statistical comparisons were made between points near and far from tungsten.
